THE BRUCE JOHNSTON INTERVIEW (Part 2, Sneak Peek of Ep. 221B)

By now, Beach Boy Bruce Johnston has retired from being interviewed, so this epic, unheard 2001 interview for Chuck Granata’s Pet Sounds book is absolutely priceless…especially seeing as his fanboy love for Chuck’s Sinatra book wound up contributing to a level of unvarnished honesty that’s super-rare for The Beach Boy universe.

Here’s just a few of the many things that Bruce discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:

• “Brian’s blender,” and the stew of his early influences;
• The differences between Brian & Phil Spector’s approaches;
• Capitol Records’ sabotage of Pet Sounds;
• Bruce’s efforts in igniting a groundswell of interest in the UK upon Pet Sounds’ release;
• And the difficulty of nailing the vocal parts that Brian had in mind.

There’ll be a short sneak peak running publicly for free, but the entirety of this podcast will only be accessible on the Major Tier of Discograffiti’s Patreon. Don’t miss it, or you’ll only be getting part of the story. Get it as a one-off, or better yet just subscribe…and then we’ll all have world peace.
